Hello families, my name is Fredlyne. I am a an elementary school teacher. I am also pursuing my masters degree.

Booked by 14 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi families, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Tamyia. I’m currently finishing my last semester for my in Human Services degree. I have 6 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and doing different routine routines for families. One of my favorite parts about babysitting is the relationships I get to build with both the children and their families. I really enjoy being someone families can rely on and helping out wherever I’m needed. I would describe myself as patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor activities, board games, and fun educational games. I always try to create a safe and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, and I’m also interested in transitioning into a full-time role over the summer where I can build a stronger, long-term connection with a family.

Tamyia is a joy to work with, kind and compassionate

Hi! I’m Schnell, a professional full-time nanny with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, including twins. I specialize in creating a structured, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports each child’s development while maintaining a calm and organized household. I’m highly reliable, patient, and skilled at managing multiple children with ease, while keeping routines consistent and stress-free for both children and parents. I also assist with light household support such as meal prep and children’s laundry to help ensure your home runs smoothly. I’m currently seeking families who value attentive, high-quality care and a dependable, long-term presence. I’m also available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.

Schnell was great with our daughter. She was punctual, professional, and friendly. We really enjoyed working with her and are thankful for the last-minute booking.

Booked by 23 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! I'm Shterna, and I'm 26 years old. I grew up in central Brooklyn in a big family of 11, with 28 nieces and nephews (ages 0-16) and over 100 first cousins. Being surrounded by kids my whole life, I naturally picked up childcare early on. I started working with kids professionally in middle school as a babysitter and summer camp counselor. After finishing school in 2018, I primarily worked as a nanny (with a brief stint in corporate) and continue to nanny today. I have lots of experience with newborns, multiples, classrooms (of infants, toddlers, and junior high-school) long shifts, overnights and weekends, children who are unwell, and working with two-parent households and transporting kids around the city. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats, hold a driver’s license, and am vaccinated. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and Boggle player. I love putting on makeup, jump on any opportunity to hear live-music, and enjoy schmoozing with friends. As a religious Jew, my weekend availability can be limited, but I’m happy to work around it when possible. I’m semi-fluent in Hebrew (and Yiddish) and enjoy sharing my culture with anyone interested! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions or provide additional information and references.

Shterna is a confident, dependable caregiver. She has taken the time to understand our infant daughter's personality, moods, developmental stage, and individual needs, adapting her care accordingly. She actively supports our daughter's development through thoughtful interaction and age-appropriate activities. Since she began caring for our daughter, we have noticed her becoming more settled, engaged, and confident. Most importantly, our daughter has developed a strong bond with Shterna and is always happy to see her. We feel confident leaving our daughter in Shterna's care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive babysitter.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
